Please let tonight’s battle rounds go smoothly. I’ve had enough drama, what with ‘Idol’ and ‘Drag Race’ unceremoniously kicking people to the curb.

Some strong matchups tonight. Let’s get to it!

Pip vs. Nathan Parrett: ‘You Know I’m No Good.’ I wasn’t crazy about Pip during his blind audition, and he sounds off-key at the kickoff of this performance. And in the middle. He also looks like Joey McIntyre. Nathan, on the other hand, is solid throughout. I think they’re both nervous, but I’d give the edge to Nathan. He has a more relevant vibe. Which, of course means …

Adam Levine chooses Pip.

Erin Martin vs. the Shields Brothers: ‘What’s Love Got to do With It.’ Erin’s voice seems SOSOSO affected. Moreso here than during her audition. And Babyface was right about the Shields Brothers — ‘Wayne’s World.’ It seems like they’re singing two different songs and has the whiff of a ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit. TRAINWRECK STATUS.

Ashley De La Rosa vs. Jonathas: ‘No Air.’ Not even gonna front. I love this song. And both of these performers are charming during rehearsals, if a little green. Ashley is adorable, but she’s also tentative and nervous. I think Christina is right — she’s better than she thinks she is. Jonathas is much more confident vocally and as a performer. He does, however, sound almost TOO MUCH like Usher. Ashley might be easier to mold as a new artist.

Christina Aguilera chooses Ashley.

ALyX vs. Jermaine Paul: ‘Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car.’ BILLY OCEAN. Best performance song ever. Jermaine takes this from the first exchange. He’s simply more confident, more charismatic and more at ease with the playfulness of the song. ALyX just takes herself SO SERIOUSLY. Get over yourself already.

And really, he sort of crushes her.

Blake Shelton chooses Jermaine.

Angel Taylor vs. Katrina Parker: ‘Bleeding Love.’ Both strong contenders. Both adorable. Angel has a dreamy vibe, and I love Katrina’s everywoman persona. They both make small mistakes, but they’re both really good and put their own stamps on the song. Christina is right about Katrina channeling Adele. But does Angel look considerably heavier — and extremely tired?

Adam chooses Katrina. SO HAPPY for her. And I might have a new favorite.

Erin Willett vs. Gwen Sebastian: ‘We Belong.’ Erin is the easy pick here. I have to give Gwen props. She’s much better here than during her audition. But Erin owns this performance. There’s heart and hurt in her delivery and I love her tones. She’s the star here.

Blake chooses Erin.

One more week of battles before we hit the live shows. Do you have any favorites yet?
